Update on life with baby

A big thank you to EVERYONE who has commented and sent

well-wishes our way over the past few weeks!

Unfortunately, I have been unable to visit with everyone one individually (I hope to be able to sit down to a serious blog-hopping session soon), I miss my Blog friends and hope to get my schedule under control soon

(am I optimistic or what!)

Baby has turned our house "upside down".... and me "inside out".

Don't they torture people with sleep deprivation????

Could someone please tell me how is it that a teeny, tiny baby can create so much mess and laundry??? - it's a good thing he's cute!

Here is another, updated pic

Henry is sleeping in this one - something he doesn't seem to do very often....

Sweet Songs

Here are the lyrics from one of my favorite songs about candy!

it is the song from the candy factory scene in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

Don't waste your pucker on some all day sucker

And don't try a toffee or cream

If you seek perfection in sugar confection

Well there's something new on the scene

A mouth full of cheer

A sweet without peer

A musical morsel supreme!

Toot Sweets!Toot Sweets!

The candies you whistle, the whistles you eat.

Toot Sweets!Toot Sweets!

The eatable, tweetable treats!

Toot Sweets!Toot Sweets!

The toot of a flute with the flavor of fruit!

Toot Sweets!Toot Sweets!

No longer need candy be mute!

Don't waste your pucker on some all day

and don't try a toffee or cream!

If you seek perfection in sugar confection,

well, there's something new on the scene:

that mouth full of cheer

that sweet without peer;

That musical morsel supreme!

Toot Sweets!Toot Sweets!

A bon-bon to blow on at last has been found

Toot Sweets!Toot Sweets,

with tweetable, eatable sound!

Their value is intrinsic,

surpass any mint stick

Or marshmallow mouthful you munch

Though licorice is chewy

And gum drops are gooey

And chocolate is charming to crunch

That savory fife,

that sweet of your life

It's clearly the best of the bunch.

Toot Sweets!Toot Sweets!

Toot Sweets!Toot Sweets!

That savory fife

That sweet of your life

Is clearly the best of the bunch

Toot Sweets!Toot Sweets!

A bon-bon to blow on at last has been found

Toot Sweets!Toot Sweets!

The treat that's so tweetable,lusciously eatable,with that unbeatable sound!

Candy Club Winner!

The Winner of the Bubble Gum Challenge...

Jeanne

from

Wildwood Studios

Here's Jeanne's post-
My Fav is Bubblicious - either cherry or watermelon. And I love to blow bubbles! I used to chew bubblegum so much that I would get a cramp in my jaw! But the one memory that stands out is when I was about 10 or 12 I blew a huge bubble and it burst and splattered gum in my hair. My Mom fussed at me the whole time she cut it out. And I went to school the next day with the hair on one side of my face tremendously shorter than the other. But that didn't keep me from blowing bubbles! :0)

Jeanne will be receiving her very own Sweet B Lollipop Baby

Congratulations Jeanne!

Seeing DOTS and NOTS

Since my cream canvas couch would last about 30 minutes in my new studio/playroom, I decided to paint it and then give it a good scotch guard treatment. The couch is from Ikea and the canvas slipcover runs about $20 - so there wasn't much to lose....

So my slouchy white couchy went from this

To this!

I am currently working on pillows and a footstool to go with it.

my son calls it the Dots Couch.

Speaking of Dots

- I feel I must warn the candy consuming public about a particularly vile candy that is being sold in stores across the country.

First let me say, that I have a pretty high threshold for bad candy. I have been known to eat candy I found repulsive because it was the only candy around and I was jones'n for some sweets. This candy, however, would stay sealed in the box.......even if I was marooned on a desert island with it!
Firstly - the yogurt part of the dots is a weird flesh color - if you can get past that, the chemical after taste is about as far away from yogurt as you can get AND lingers for a looooong time!

I actually spat out the fifth one I tried (told you I had a pretty high tolerance) - the only way someone could eat these would be to nip off the candy colored end - which tastes like a regular dot.
Who came up with this??? Who tested this and thought 'yea - flesh colored yogurt dots - the next best seller!'???

Yogurt dots....Candy NOTS!
